ISRO said the cryogenic upper stage of the LVM3 M4 launch vehicle uncontrollably re-entered the Earth's atmosphere on Wednesday. It is noteworthy that Cryogenic successfully placed the Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft in the desired orbit on July 14 this year.

ISRO said in a statement that its probable impact point (fall) is predicted over the North Pacific Ocean. This rocket was part of the LVM-3M4 launch vehicle. It re-entered the Earth's atmosphere around 2:42 pm Indian time.

Re-entry of the rocket portion occurred within 124 days of its launch. ISRO said that after the launch of Chandrayaan-3, the upper stage was decommissioned to remove all residual propellant and energy sources to reduce the risk of accidental explosions in accordance with the space debris mitigation guidelines set by the United Nations and IADC.
